Millions of young players will hold it as mankind’s best invention ever. The first console idea was developed in 1975 by <b>Atari</b> and <b>Warner Bros</b>, its parent company. <br/><br/> Initially the console was set to come with an integrated ROM game, but at the last minute, Atari preferred a cartridge version. This game was “Combat”. Most importantly, this first cartridge will allow console owners to wait a few months for the release of new games. A first series of 8 will be followed later by many, among them, the famous <b>“Space Invaders”</b>, a title giving Atari global success and will cash in more then $100 millions. <br/><br/> In two years, Atari sold more than <b>25 million</b> consoles and earn $5 billion in sales, mostly from cartridges and optional accessories. Many third companies will also encounter success, such as Namco and its <b>“Pacman”</b>. <br/><br/> In 1982, the VCS becomes <b>“2600”</b> until Atari is sold in 1984, followed by new versions “5200” and “7800”. However, the 2600 continued to be produced and new games will appear until 1991. The VCS/2600 console thus lived for 14 years, a record longevity never equaled since by any console or computer. <br/><br/> Thanks to the <a href="http://users.knoware.nl/users/stuurmn/index.htm">Albert's Museum</a> for the picture. <br/><br/> </p><img src="/media/history/images/timeline_0777_atari_3.jpg"/>
